i need like the present day meaning of it!!
thank you!!

Answer 1

The Hydra which lived in the swamps near to the ancient city of Lerna in Argolis, was a terrifying monster which like the Nemean lion was the offspring of Echidna (half maiden - half serpent), and Typhon (had 100 heads), other versions think that the Hydra was the offspring of Styx and the Titan Pallas. The Hydra had the body of a serpent and many heads (the number of heads deviates from five up to one hundred there are many versions but generally nine is accepted as standard), of which one could never be harmed by any weapon, and if any of the other heads were severed another would grow in its place (in some versions two would grow). Also the stench from the Hydra's breath was enough to kill man or beast (in other versions it was a deadly venom). When it emerged from the swamp it would attack herds of cattle and local villagers, devouring them with its numerous heads. It totally terrorized the vicinity for many years.

so someone who is "hydra headed" may have many different roles to fill, such as the head of a big corporation, who has to make tough decisions and may be very unkind.

Answer 2

Having many facets or aspects, especially difficult or intractable ones: a hydra-headed social problem.

Answer 3

nine heads.. hmm let me think..

okay.. like, if you solve one problem it will become two. and so on..

you could show this by using a child..
for example: Mom, Why is the sky blue?
Honey, sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light.
but mom, what are molecules and why do they scatter?

because there are always more "whys" than answers..

Answer 4

isnt the hydra a many headed dragon or beast from mythology?
